PLEASE READ!

So seeing as many people followed and favourited the story, I'm guessing you all want more. That's great and all, but I would like some reviews too.

I'm not gonna beg or blackmail you into giving me reviews; after all, they are your choice. However, it would be nice to have some feedback so I know where I'm going wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Enjoy!

The Devil Incarnate

"Ugggh... I feel like shit..." Killua groaned as he sat up. His skateboard and the contents of his backpack were across the clearing of a forest where he was lying. He got up, heading over to his skateboard when he stiffened.

A killing intent so... powerful...

And aimed at him.

Slowly he turned around, releasing a slight killing intent himself to taunt the other, As he predicted, the bloodlust of it grew larger. He saw on the other side of the clearing, crimson red eyes staring at him from behind a hedge.

"Really now? Hiding in plain sight?" Killua thought, releasing more bloodlust to suffocate it's own. "Come on out..."

Instead, more red eyes began opening across the hedges and bushes across the whole clearing. Killua wanted to facepalm.

"Oh right... I didn't take into account that there might be more..." Killua thought as his eyes narrowed and his killing intent grew to new proportions; completely quenching their own.

Shoving his hands into his pockets he looked at the beasts that began to climb out and circle him. He was sure he heard the cry of a crow somewhere.

"Bring it. I'll beat you at your own game."

Qrow flew as fast as he could towards Beacon Academy, making sure to avoid the Nevermores passing him. He took to the draft of the giant birds as they flew past; soaring into the sky and flashing past Ozpin who was looking at the forest from his skyline.

He flew straight through an open window, doing a combat roll to control himself and landed on one knee; still breathing heavily and shuddering slightly.

"Ozpin... You were right... Something's here... Someone's here." Qrow gasped, still catching his breath.

Ozpin listened intently, sipping his mug in thought.

"It's a kid. No older than Ruby in body but... He's something else. Like a living nightmare."

Ozpin made a noise in thought. He put down a mug as he sat back down; still facing the skyline.

"What should we do?" Glynda queried, almost guessing his answer.

"Send out teams CFVY, RWBY & JNPR. CFVY will control the mission with RWBY & JNPR acting as support." Ozpin answered immediately.

"Do really think that is wise, sir?" Glynda replied, looking horror-stricken once again.

"Glynda..."

"Sir, sending out two first-year teams - They could be killed!" Glynda argued, trying to keep her emotion in line.

"Glynda."

"At least send out a different team!"

"Glynda, do you trust me?"

The words shocked her; as if questioning her very belief in him.

"Of course I -"

"Do you trust this cause?"

"...Yes-"

"Then why do you not trust my decision?"

Glynda bowed her head.

"Glynda. You must realise that you never made an error in your judgement. The children as they were, refused to listen. That was their loss."

"I know... But we could have stopped them!" Glynda cried out, the tears threatening to spill.

"No, we couldn't have. They were gone before we could even call them back."

"I know... But I wish we could have..."

"So do I Glynda... So do I..."

Glynda inclined her head to him and with a stiff nod, left the room to follow her orders.

With Team RWBY & JNPR...

Both teams were currently doing a mass revision study in the library with Yang & Nora sleeping off; Nora snoring slightly.

"So when did the Geat War end again?" Ruby asked kindly, reading a book as well as writing notes.

"You've been reading a book about it and you don't even know when it ended?" Weiss asked, somehow confused by Ruby's mind.

"Okay, okay... Sorry..."

"Dammit... My arm's all sore..." Yang yawned, trying to shake the pins and needles out of her arm.

"Yeah, yet you did nothing..." Blake mumbled, turning the page in the book in her hand.

"Aw, don't be like that Blake, ya know you love me," Yang answered back, nudging her partner who simply rolled her eyes.

"You wish..."

"Please keep the noise down. Others are trying to read as well as revise." The librarian whispered as she passed them.

"Will do," Pyrrha answered.

"Will Teams CFVY, RWBY & JNPR please report to the Headmaster."

Both teams looked towards each other.

"Wonder what that's for..." Nora said, getting up as the others packed away their books.

"Wait, you were awake?!" Jaune said, his books falling all over the floor. With a groan, he picked them up; Pyrrha helping him.

"Of course! Well, I slept a bit..." Nora replied, heading out the library with Ren.

"Let's just go," Ruby said, rushing out the library; eager to no longer be revising for tests that were still months away.

"Ugh... Carry me." Yang said, turning to Weiss who also rolled her eyes in annoyance and walked off. "But we're supposed to be a team!" Yang called out, chasing after her.

"Hmph... They act like five-year-olds..." The librarian mused unhappily, turning to Blake & she collected the book back from her. "At least you act your age..."

Blake smiled back; earning a grin from the librarian; before turning to leave also.

"Uh, Blake dear!" The librarian called back.

Blake turned around.

"A book in a book?" The librarian said wistfully, taking out the other book.

The Ninjas Of Love.

"I didn't know that you would want to read something so exciting, Blake..." The librarian mused once more, giggling at the reaction of Blake's face heating up.

"I-I'm s-sorry!" Blake exclaimed as her face went crimson and she snatched the book and ran out after her teammates.

"Aw... I have the next in the series also... Damn, maybe next time." The librarian whispered to herself, before turning back to do her duty.

With Ozpin...

Soon enough, all teams were accounted for and waiting for instructions from the Professor who was again looking out of his skyline. Glynda stood at a holographic map on the table.

"Sir?" Ruby called out, stepping forward.

Glynda cleared her throat to get Ozpin's attention and he realised that the teams were behind him.

"Oh! Ah, yes, your mission." Ozpin started, getting straight into business.

"Our mission?" Coco repeated, an eyebrow raised in thought. "But sir, it's only been three weeks-"

"Yes, we know that but we'll give you back your time when you've returned. Right now, your team is quite urgently needed." Glynda interrupted.

"...Okay."

Pressing a few keys on her scroll, a square showed on the map.

"There is a gravitational distortion around this area in the Emerald Forest, with Grimm attracted to it. We still have no idea what happened there nor do we know why Grimm are attracted to it."

"You want us to find out what's going on?" Fox spoke up, his deep voice echoing in the room.

"Yes. Whatever happens, you mustn't engage too many Grimm. We do need you alive." Ozpin finished, peering over his glasses at the map.

Another image showed on the map; seemingly a plane.

"You will be flown in at the border of the approximate location. Get as much information on it as possible then get back. Remember, only kill Grimm if they get in your way. Don't actively attack them." Glynda said, breathing heavily.

"Team CFVY, you lead. Teams RWBY, JNPR you follow. That's how it works. Dismissed." Ozpin concluded.

With that, both teams left.

"Was it necessary to lie to them Ozpin?" Glynda wanted to know, as she crossed her arms and turned to face Ozpin with a hard stare.

"Yes. We cannot be sure what we are dealing with and I do not want to scare the children." Ozpin responded, grabbing his mug once more.

"And they won't be scared when they see that kid?" Glynda retorted.

"Oh, I expect they will. Very much so."

Killua smirked as he kicked straight through another Beast's head. Jumping into the air, he kicked the top part of the head into the mouth of a beast that jumped after him and the second into the same beast's stomach to send it back the ground.

'This is just... Too easy!' Killua thought as he dodged a swipe from a larger looking beast; having the characteristics of a bear.

Using Ryu in his leg, he broke the bone-like mask of the beast with a swift kick to the face and slid underneath to dodge a swipe attack from the same kind of beast that was behind him.

The beast that had been behind him slashed straight through the face of the beast that had lost it's mask. The beasts then began to grapple.

"Time to end this... It's getting boring."

Finally taking his hand out of his pockets, he dodged some razor sharp feathers from the sky. Looking up he swore.

Giant birds.

He jumped to the side; allowing a smaller beast that resembled a Boar to take the next batch of feathers. Instead, the bone-like structure on it's back allowed it to deflect the feathers into the side of a different beast that resembled Mike (The Zoldyck family Dog) on two legs and much smaller.

The small Boar began rolling as a ball towards him and picked up speed. Killua raised an eyebrow once more; certain he had seen that same move from a cartoon about a different animal...

The beast with the feathers poking out its side roared before charging towards him once more. In a swift movement, it lost its head. It fell to the floor & began evaporating.

'Ah, shit... No satisfaction of gaining a kill...'

He ran to a tree, quickly jumping from branch to branch and into the face of one of the giant birds. It opened its beak to swallow him whole.

Killua simply grinned as he was swallowed by the bird.

The Nevermore swallowed with heavy difficulty, it's throat feeling like it was being torn apart. As it landed, it could feel its food wriggling in it's stomach. Then the Nevermore cawed as it felt its stomach rip viciously. It tried regurgitation, yet it's muscles wouldn't respond to it. It cawed once more finally before it's head exploded.

Out came Killua; his clothes covered in the blood of the Grimm. Soon the blood began to evaporate. Killua wrinkled his nose in disgust.

'Even smells worse than shit...'

"Huh... No challenge." He said, as his nails lengthened once more into claws.

The beasts had already circled him already; now weary about trying to attack him.

"Oh, intelligence? You're all still going to die."

Teams RWBY, CFVY & JNPR boarded the Bullhead VTOL, the plane that would drop them off. Once they strapped in, the pilot set off at top speed.

"Is it just me or was Ozpin... Hiding something?" Nora asked, reminiscing on Ozpin's briefing. The others agreed.

"It's like he wasn't telling us the whole truth..." Coco added.

"Well, I guess we'll find out when we get there." Fox stated, a loud 'caw' echoing and 3 Nevermores raced past.

"That's strange... It completely ignored us." Yang said, still looking at the now distant Grimm.

"Then what's gonna be weirder is what it's heading too! Now get ready; I'm opening the side hatch. Jump on my mark!" The pilot shouted over the comms to which everyone gathered together. With a loud crunch, it began to slide open.

"Let's get out and bust some Grimm!" Ruby shouted over the wind roaring.

"3..."

They got ready; completing checks on their parachutes.

"2..."

Yang remembered to put on her aviators to which Ruby simply rolled her eyes with a smile.

"1..."

"Go!Go!GO!" Yang screamed, jumping straight out, to which everyone followed after her.

"Wait! Aw fuck me, Ozpin'll sack me for this!" The pilot complained, turning back to the Academy. "This is why I hate these horny idiot teenagers! Never fucking listen!"

The sound of the Bullhead taking off filled the sky as the 12 students fell from the sky.

"Woohoo! This is awesome!" Yang screamed, blasting off from the others towards the direction they were supposed to be heading.

"Wait, Yang! We gotta stick-" Coco began, but then a rush of rose petals went past her. "Not you too, Ruby!"

Ruby laughed as she seemingly flew past her sister who decided to take on the challenge. Blasting off her gauntlets once more, she began tree hopping. Soon enough, her sister also ran out of energy to keep up her rose petal form and was heading at terminal velocity to the forest below.

"Ruby! Open your parachute!" Yang shouted; having shrugged off her own while tree hopping.

"Huh?!" Ruby shouted, not hearing her sister over the wind whistling.

"Parachute!" Yang screamed; her sister understanding and pulling her string. A wide array of colours fluttered out as her parachute opened and slowed down her speed. Unfortunately, she was caught in a tree, to which Yang laughed heartily.

Ruby sliced through the strings connecting her to the parachute with Crescent Rose and fell to the forest floor. She shrugged off her backpack as Yang smashed down a tree to land beside her. They both sat on the grass.

"I guess we should wait for the others..." Yang mused, leaning against the trunk of the fallen down tree.

"Okay." Ruby replied simply, leaning on her sister who smiled at the action and put her arm around Ruby.

"Bastards..." Killua swore as he dodged the snake's black head once more. The white head of the snake also attacked, forcing him to move again in quick succession.

'And I can't even sense them!' Killua thought while grumbling.

This was, somehow, true. He'd used En to try and grasp the number of beasts that were coming and how many were all hiding in wait for a chance to eat him. It was still unknown to him why it was as if they were in perfect Zetsu at all times. While it was not impossible, to be able to keep it contained for such lengths of time was unimaginable.

Grabbing the fangs of the rushing in black snakehead, he quickly broke them off and (while using Shu to reinforce them) embedded it in the white snake head's eyes. Both of the beast heads squealed in dismay before being cut off from the middle. They quickly evaporated.

'Ugh... I can't keep this up forever... Probably work if I scare them off...' Killua thought, releasing more of his pent-up bloodlust at another beast.

Instead of it having the desired effect, something completely different happened; totally unexpected.

The other beasts began to attack it.

Killua looked on in shock as the small wolf-like ones and even the few bear-like ones. Of course, the giant version of the bear-like beasts did try to defend itself but it ultimately fell to its demise.

'So... They listen to the call of bloodlust but not active battle...' Killua deduced, doing the same thing again to another beast. However, he found he needed more killer intent to make the others begin to attack it. 'But it also depends on its intensity.'

The beasts once more came towards him and he retreated, trying to pick up his ChocoRobo and other contents of his bag so they wouldn't get in the way. Eating a few to rejuvenate his energy, he swiftly took off the head of the wolf-like beast and stabbed the chocolate bar like a knife into another's eye using Shu. It roared in anger.

'There's just too many of them...'

Killua sliced in half the bear-like beast through the middle and jumped into a tree; narrowly missing the sharp feathers of the giant bird. He increased his bloodlust once more and directed it at the bird; causing the other giant birds to also let loose their feathers at the bird. Soon it was falling out of the sky.

At him.

Killua quickly jumped out of the tree to the grass again as the bird crashed into the tree and began to evaporate.

Picking up his skateboard, he decided to put some distance between himself and the beasts; running through the forest. They chased after him.

'Why can't they just fuck off...'

Using Shu once again, he threw a tree branch and impaled a wolf-like beast through the neck. He took to the trees, bursting out into the sky; a few feathers flew past him and he turned to see that the giant birds were still after him.

"Shit..." Killua said, heading back into the trees and jumping from the branches. "Gonna have to kill them to get away..."

Ruby yawned, stretching as she blinked open her tired eyes to see CFVY & JNPR standing over her.

"Oh! Hi, guys!" Ruby chirped happily, with a grin. In return, she was smacked on the head by Weiss. "Owww!"

"Don't just leave us like that! We didn't know where you were!" Weiss reprimanded, crossing her arms. The other nodded in agreement.

Ruby turned to her sister who was snoring slightly. Blake popped her sleep bubble to wake her up.

"Huh?" Yang said groggily, getting up with a yawn. "Oh! Hi, guys! Took you long enough!"

She also received a smack to the head by Blake.

"Ow! What's that for!" She cried, soothing her head.

"That's for running off!" Blake reprimanded.

"It's a free world!"

"Yes! Even for the Grimm!"

"Shut it!" Coco ordered, stepping between the two. "Yang & Ruby! Let this never happen again!"

"Ma'am, yes Ma'am!" Yang mock saluted.

"Okay!" Ruby replied, simply going along with her sister.

The cry of a Nevermore and something hitting the ground hard occurred. All looking at each other weirdly, they decided to get going.

But they all felt the death that seemed to be thick in the air... Something that wanted to kill.

"I don't know about you guys... But do you feel that?" Yang said as they continued on cautiously.

"You mean that feeling of someone wanting to kill something? Like the most amount of hatred and anger ever gathered together? Like-"

"Don't try to explain it, Ruby!" Weiss complained.

"I know what you mean..." Fox opened, sniffing what was before him. "I can do it too... But nothing to that extent. It's truly the sign of someone eager to kill something."

"Hopefully not us..." Blake mumbled, as the feeling became thicker and seemed to surround them as they continued on to their destination.

Killua breathed hard as he smashed in the heads of the Grimm with his Yo-Yos; swinging them around to kill them at range instead of close-up. He threw one to the sky to smack into a Nevermore's beak; making it refrain from firing more feathers anytime soon. He released more bloodlust outwards; succeeding in making some confused and scared enough to back off.

'The larger the beast such as the snakes & birds the more bloodlust required...' Killua deduced, using Ken to cover his body as the beasts tried to box him in.

"You just don't ever give up do you?" Killua asked rhetorically, grinning at the challenge before him. Deftly dodging more feathers, he let loose one yo-yo once more and swung it round the beast to hit it in the back which caused it to fall into the forest trees and the majority of Grimm. The bird cawed once more before it finally evaporated. the beasts beneath also evaporated.

Calling back the yo-yo, he threw both at the heads of two wolf-like Grimm that jumped towards him; completely blowing out their heads.

He back-flipped quickly to avoid the stinger of a giant scorpion. He quickly broke through it with a yo-yo. The scorpion screamed in rage and tried to dice him instead. He dodged the claw strikes and smashed his left yo-yo into its exoskeleton, cracking it slightly.

Again it squealed and he kicked it upside the head to kill it. It tumbled over and steam-rolled a few Grimm in its wake.

'Even these shitty things... Just great...' Killua thought, jumping a branch.

He needed help. Even he knew that it was only a matter of time until he gave out; he had been fighting for 2 hours already. Although, he was sure that he had heard a plane earlier and the shout of someone's voice.

"If I can just get their attention... Maybe I can leave them to deal with these things instead." He thought aloud, grinning as he thought up a plan. "But I'll have to use that..."

Putting his yo-yos away, he finally activated his Hatsu; his aura transmuting into electricity around him. The Grimm seemed undeterred, still chasing after him. Looking to the sky, he saw that the clouds were close enough to do his newest move.

Lightning Strike: By aiming his thunderbolt technique into a group of clouds, he creates a chain reaction of lightning from each cloud as they join together. As his Nen is still in the clouds, by using Gyo and determining the targets, the lightning strikes these targets twice. However, this can only be used once as the clouds disperse by the force of the storm.

Charging his electricity into his finger and shooting it into the clouds, the sky darkened quickly and the crackle of lightning filled the air. Soon enough, the clouds had gathered together and thunder boomed in its wake.

"Time to get this party started..." Killua stated, sending aura to his eyes in preparation for the kill.

"Umm, guys?" Yang asked, looking up to the thunderclouds joining. "I don't think the forecast foretold a storm?"

"Yeah, you're right. Something's going on." Blake agreed as they continued running towards the source.

"But what was the lightning that was heading to the clouds?" Pyrrha said, but her attention was quickly diverted, "Grimm ahead! Everywhere!"

"On it!" Coco said, getting her mini-gun ready and whirring. The Grimm turned to them as they arrived deeper into the forest.

"Hell yeah!" Yang said, drop-kicking a Beowolf in the chest. Blake came from the air, slicing it in half.

Ruby quickly burst into rose petals as she slashed her way through the horde of Grimm, Weiss hot on her heels. Releasing a column of ice to block a claw swipe from an Ursa while Ruby sliced it's head off.

"Time to die!" Coco yelled, spraying the Grimm in the forest from far-range, completely decimating the Grimm who decided to come near them. Fox sliced through the Grimm with Yatsuhashi; dissecting them with ease.

Nora and Ren worked together; with Ren shooting through all the Grimm that Nora had knocked his way. Pyrrha did the same with Jaune; Jaune would slice through as many as she shot his way.

Suddenly, the Grimm all began disappearing with a streak of lightning. The three teams looked upwards to the growing storm and the darkening sky.

"Uh, should we get going?" Nora asked, stepping back from the thunderclouds gathering.

"No. The lightning seems to be coordinated; only attacking the Grimm. Normally, lightning tries to find the path of the least resistance by ionizing the air around it in a small radius-" Weiss tried to explain but was interrupted by Ruby.

"Um, Weiss? I lost you at 'coordinated'..." Ruby complained, raising her hand and earning a smack over the head. "OW!"

"Pay more attention in classes dummy!" Weiss shouted at her.

"We never did this in class!"

"We did last week!"

"Then how am I supposed to remember!"

"It's why you make NOTES!"

"Oi, oi, oi!" Yang startled them. "We got better things to do than bicker!"

With that, they all began running into the forest to find out the reason of the lightning.

'Took you fucking long enough...' Killua thought as he felt the people who he thought could help him enter his En. He changed the Nen concentration from his eyes to his hand and raised it to the sky.

'The lightning I sent to the sky was positive... I hope...' Killua thought, bracing for the impact of lightning. 'Therefore, if I project negative into my hand as the least resistance...'

Lightning flashed to his palm and continued; charging his Hatsu as well as burning his hand slightly from the heat. As the lightning ran out from the clouds and they dispersed, Killua grunted and looked at his smoking hand.

"Just great... I've gotta use this properly next time."

The many beasts around had all disintegrated and he lay back against the tree to catch his breath.

A cry from a bird made him groan.

'Not already...'

"Hey guys! The weather's cleared up!" Nora shouted, looking up into the sky as sunlight flooded their vision.

"Good! Now we can-"

Coco was cut off by a Nevermore's cry and they all watched as a bolt of lightning fried the bird into oblivion and it fell from the sky.

Towards them.

"Everyone! Get outta here!" Yang shouted, ducking for cover. The others did the same and the bird smashed through the trees behind them. As it stopped sliding across the forest ground, they all got up.

"Oh. Sorry about that. Didn't see you there." A monotone voice stated, to which everyone looked up to see who had said that.

A boy stood in front of them; no older than Ruby; with white hair and a look of death on his face. The blood of Grimm was evaporating off of his clothes.

"Well, are you going to get up or-"

The boy ducked under the claw swipe of the wolf-like beast; twisting as he kicked it in the head hard enough to decapitate it.

The others saw the swift motion and their eyes widened in shock.

"Well? Are you going to get up or not?"

They quickly composed themselves and got up; now taking in the boy in front of them.

"So who are you?" The boy asked.

"We're teams CFVY, JNPR & RWBY," Coco said, taking her role and stepping forward to signify herself as the leader. "We've been told to -"

"I'm guessing that you've been told to investigate an anomaly in this area?" The boy spoke.

"...Well, yes." Coco agreed. "We were also told to take in any survivors..."

'So they already knew about me...' Killua thought, analyzing each of the people that stood in front of him. 'Then they must need me or something from me...'

"How did you know I would be here?" Killua replied, to which the leader stiffened; unbeknownst to everyone except Killua himself.

"Our... Headmaster told us that there might be someone around here." Coco said, relaxing and trying to calculate him.

"Headmaster... You're from a school?" Killua questioned, eyes narrowing in thought. 'Something doesn't seem to be right here...'

"Yes. A combat school built to instruct the next generations and grant them the knowledge to face the Grimm as Hunters & Huntresses." Fox stated, taking over from Coco.

"And should I believe this... Your Headmaster wants to see me?" Killua retorted.

"Yes he does," Fox stated, knowing that the tension was growing as well as the boy's bloodlust.

"What kind of bullshit is that? Some Headmaster wants to see me?" Killua growled, his bloodlust continuously growing and the others backed up as his presence began to get much more intimidating.

Fox allowed his own bloodlust to grow; stepping towards Killua who smiled in anticipation of the fight that would ensue.

"Wait!" Ruby shouted, stepping between the two people.

Killua growled loudly and raised his hand to strike her down. Ruby's eyes widened.

"We didn't come to fight!" Ruby stated, facing Killua fully and looking at him close up.

He was wearing a white T-shirt over a purple turtleneck, green khaki shorts, and trainers. She could see that a few metres away was a backpack and skateboard.

"We came to ask you to come with us. To you, it may not sound like reality but it is what it is." Ruby reasoned.

Killua put down his hand; his mind racing about his situation.

'If I go to see their apparent Headmaster I may be ambushed by more of them. However, they all seem to be the same age as me or a bit more so their story seems to make sense except for the part of this supposed Headmaster. 12 of them here; I can kill them all hopefully without too much problem...'

"Look." Ruby interrupted his thoughts and glared at him as he glared at her. Even though the were about the same height, he was surprised that she wasn't scared of him in the slightest.

"We know that you don't trust us. It's expected. But we're just asking that you follow us and let us take you to our Headmaster."

Killua realised that he had nothing to lose and almost berated himself for overthinking it.

'Like a certain someone I know...'

"Okay. I'll follow you." Killua said, turning back and getting his backpack as well as his skateboard. He turned back to see Ruby staring openly at his skateboard.

Killua rolled his eyes as he remembered who else had once been interested in his skateboard.

'She reminds me of him too much... So naive...'

"Wanna see it?" Killua said, holding out his skateboard to him. She eagerly took it from him as she nodded, inspecting it. He raised an eyebrow at her behaviour.

"Oh! I'm Ruby!" Ruby spoke, still looking at the skateboard intently. "These are my teammates!"

"I'm Zoldyck Killua," Killua replied, looking at each of her 'teammates'.

"Your first name is Zoldyck?" Yang asked, an eyebrow raised.

"No my first name is Killua... Where I'm from, we say our names - Actually it doesn't matter." Killua stopping as he took back his skateboard from Ruby. "Let's just get going."

He stepped up to Coco.

"Lead the way."

So that's it, guys! I'm finally done with both GCSEs and school so expect more updates from me! See you around and don't forget to review!

Yours faithfully,
